According to ChainCatcher, Internet Court, a dispute resolution protocol powered by GenLayer, now allows AI agents to sign contracts with humans. Funds are held in escrow and released only after the terms are judged to have been fulfilled.
The protocol has spent the past year in testing and is currently processing about 12,000 rulings a day. It has already been used by Collective Memory to verify user-uploaded photos and by argue.fun to handle arguments. Mainnet is expected to go live next month.
Randomly selected validator juries handle disputes
When a dispute arises, the case is sent to a jury made up of five randomly selected GenLayer validators. Each validator runs a different family of AI models, including Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, and DeepSeek.
An initial ruling is reached by simple majority within minutes. Cases can then be appealed to broader juries of 11, 23, or as many as 1,500 AIs. Finality is usually reached within 30 minutes, with the longest cases taking about three hours.
System design draws on Condorcet’s jury theorem
The mechanism borrows from philosopher Condorcet’s jury theorem, using multiple independent evaluators to reduce the bias of any single model.
The Internet Court open alliance currently has 35 members, including ZKsync, NEAR, Consensys, and UMA.
GenLayer also introduced contracts built for subjective judgment
GenLayer has also rolled out intelligent contracts designed to support subjective judgment. These contracts can process code and natural language, access the internet, and understand images.
GenLayer co-founder and CEO Albert Castellana said the technology could help speed up dispute rulings in prediction markets. He also said AI judgment is still not reliable enough to identify deepfakes or resolve neighborhood boundary disputes, and warned that model bias and "representational convergence" could create groupthink problems.
